Home Bargains spends £5 million to open new Broxburn store

Home Bargains has invested approximately £5m in its new store in Broxburn, which will be officially opened on 7 August.

The family-run retailer is creating 35 new jobs at the new outlet on Thistle Retail Park.

In total, the store will employ 42 team members, including some staff and management who will be transferring from local stores.

The Broxburn store will join more than 500 outlets across the UK.

Dillon Cooper, the new store manager, said: “I originally started my Home Bargains journey 11 years ago, but most recently I’ve held the title of assistant manager at our Kingsway East store in Dundee.

“The prospect of opening our new site, however, on Thistle Retail Park alongside such a fantastic team has to be one of the highlights of my career.”

The 20,118 sq ft store, which has been newly developed, will offer a range of products, including homewares, health and beauty essentials, sweets, snacks and drinks, as well as fresh and frozen food.

Opening approximately 50 stores a year and with more than five million customers each week,

Home Bargains was established more than 40 years ago in Liverpool and has grown to have more than 500 stores in the UK, employing around 20,000 staff.

The company intends to continue its expansion and has plans to grow to 800 stores and 35,000 staff.
